B. Prefill open joints, rounded or beveled edges, and damaged surface areas.

C. Apply joint tape over gypsum board joints, except those with trim having flanges not intended for tape.

D. Gypsum Board Finish Levels:1. Typical finish level for exposed to view locations where flat paints, light textures or wall coverings are to be

applied:a. Level 4: Embed tape and apply separate first, fill, and finish coats of joint compound to tape,

fasteners, and trim flanges at panel surfaces. Compound shall be smooth and free of tool marks,ridges and other blemishes.

INSTALLATION, GENERAL

Arrange for manufacturer's representative to oversee installation of static-control resilient floor coverings.

Scribe, cut, and fit resilient flooring to butt neatly and tightly to vertical surfaces and permanent fixtures includingbuilt-in furniture, cabinets, pipes, outlets, edgings, door frames, thresholds, and nosings.

Extend tiles into toe spaces, door reveals, closets, and similar openings.

Terminate resilient flooring at centerline of door openings where adjacent floor finish is dissimilar. Install edge stripsat unprotected or exposed edges, and where flooring terminates.

Where movable partitions are shown, install resilient flooring before partitions are erected.

Maintain reference markers, holes, and openings that are in place or marked for future cutting by repeating on floortiles as marked on substrates. Use chalk or other nonpermanent, nonstaining marking device.

Adhere floor coverings substrates using a full spread of adhesive applied to substrate to produce a completedinstallation without open cracks, voids, raising and puckering at joints, telegraphing of adhesive spreader marks, andother surface imperfections.

H. Immediately after installation of resilient flooring, roll floor in both directions with a 100 to 150 pound, three sectionroller to insure full contact between adhesive and flooring.

3.4 TILE INSTALLATION

A. Layout tiles from center marks established with principal walls, discounting minor offsets, so tiles at opposite edgesof room are of equal width. Adjust as necessary to avoid using cut widths that equal less than one-half tile atperimeter.1. Lay tiles square with room axis unless otherwise indicated in drawings.


B. Match tiles for color and pattern by selecting tiles from cartons in the same sequence as manufactured andpackaged, if so numbered. Discard broken, cracked, chipped, or deformed tiles.1. Lay tiles in pattern of colors and sizes indicated in drawings.

C. Static-Control Tiles: In each space where conductive solid vinyl floor tile is installed, install maintenance tileidentifying conductive floor tile in location approved by Architect.

G.

A. Unroll sheet floor coverings and allow them to stabilize before cutting and fitting.

B. Layout sheet floor coverings as follows:1. Maintain uniformity of floor covering direction.2. Minimize number of seams; place seams in inconspicuous and low-traffic areas, at least 6 inches (152 mm)

away from parallel joints in floor covering substrates.3. Match edges of floor coverings for color shading at seams.4. Avoid cross seams.

C. Seamless Installation:1. Heat-Welded Seams: Comply with ASTM F 1516. Rout joints and heat weld with welding bead to

permanently fuse sections into a seamless floor covering. Prepare, weld, and finish seams to producesurfaces flush with adjoining floor covering surfaces.

2. Chemically Bonded Seams: Bond seams with chemical-bonding compound to permanently fuse sectionsinto a seamless floor covering. Prepare seams and apply compound to produce tightly fitted seams withoutgaps, overlays, or excess bonding compound on floor covering surfaces.

D. Integral Flash Cove Base: Cove floor coverings 6 inches (152 mm) up vertical surfaces. Support floor coverings athorizontal and vertical junction with cove strip. Butt at top against cap strip.

RESILIENT WALL BASE INSTALLATION

Apply wall base to walls, columns, pilasters, and other permanent fixtures in rooms and areas where base is requiredin drawings.

Install wall base in lengths as long as practicable without gaps at seams and with tops of adjacent pieces aligned.

Tightly adhere wall base to substrate throughout length of each piece, with base in continuous contact with horizontaland vertical substrates.

Do not stretch wall base during installation.

On masonry surfaces or other similar irregular substrates, fill voids along top edge of wall base with manufacturer'srecommended adhesive filler material.

Premolded Corners: Install premolded corners before installing straight pieces.

Job-Formed Corners:

1. Outside Corners: Use straight pieces of maximum lengths possible. Form without producing discoloration(whitening) at bends. Shave back of base at points where bends occur and remove strips perpendicular tolength of base that are only deep enough to produce a snug fit without removing more than half the wall basethickness.


2. Inside Corners: Use straight pieces of maximum lengths possible. Form by cutting an inverted V-shapednotch in toe of wall base at the point where corner is formed. Shave back of base where necessary toproduce a snug fit to substrate.

3.7 RESILIENT ACCESSORY INSTALLATION

A. Resilient Molding Accessories: Butt to adjacent materials and tightly adhere to substrates throughout length of eachpiece. Install reducer strips at edges of floor coverings that would otherwise be exposed.

3.8 CLEANING AND PROTECTION

A. Perform the following operations immediately after completing resilient product installation:

1. Remove adhesive and other blemishes from exposed surfaces.2. Sweep and vacuum surfaces thoroughly.3. Damp-mop surfaces to remove marks and soil.

a. Do not wash surfaces until after time period recommended by manufacturer.

B. Protect resilient products from mars, marks, indentations, and other damage from construction operations andplacement of equipment and fixtures during remainder of construction period. Use protection methodsrecommended in writing by manufacturer.

1. Apply protective floor polish to horizontal surfaces that are free from soil, visible adhesive, and surfaceblemishes if recommended in writing by manufacturer.a. Use commercially available product acceptable to manufacturer.b. Coordinate selection of floor polish with Owner's maintenance service.

2. Static-control Resilient Floor Coverings:a. Do not wax static-control resilient floor coverings.b. If recommended in writing by static-control resilient floor tile manufacturer, apply protective static-

control floor polish formulated to maintain or enhance tile's electrical properties to tile surfaces thatare free from soil, adhesive, and surface blemishes.1) Verify that both polish and its application method are approved by tile manufacturer and that

polish will not leave an insulating film that reduces tile's effectiveness for static control.

3. Prohibit heavy traffic on floor finish for a minimum of 72 hours after installation.

4. Cover products installed on horizontal surfaces with undyed, untreated building paper until SubstantialCompletion

5. Do not move heavy and sharp objects directly over surfaces. Place hardboard or plywood panels overflooring and under objects while they are being moved. Slide or roll objects over panels without movingpanels.
